Not judging by the questions I suspect they'll be asked. They're brilliant comedy writers (I'm convinced the terrible direction the show has been pushed in is not their fault. I envision a sensitive and weary jester trying to amuse an uncouth and barbaric king. Either the current audience or someone higher up at Warner Brothers) and they're about to be asked a series of tittery "Was it an engagement ring or just a promise ring?" "When is Sheldon finally going to give Amy what SHE DESERVES?" "When are they all going to have loads and loads of babies?" folderol.
If anyone asks them a question about Sheldon's quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe and tear the mask off nature and stare at the face of god and where that quest has gone, precisely, or about comedic narrative structure, or indeed anything that DOESN'T relate to something kissy-wissy, I'll eat my hat.
Incidentally, the TBBT polls at our fellow site are fascinating. If I were one of the head honchos of TBBT/CBS, I might be inclined to draw some conclusions from them.
Which character do you most relate to?
Leonard (22,054 votes /31.1%)
Sheldon (20,125 votes /28.4%)
Penny (11,745 votes /16.6%)
Raj (5,859 votes /8.3%)
Bernadette (4,048 votes /5.7%)
Howard (3,503 votes /4.9%)
Amy (3,498 votes /4.9%)
Maybe we should stop writing the show around Amy?
Who is your favorite character?
Sheldon (26,869 votes /50.1%)
Penny (9,398 votes /17.5%)
Leonard (7,421 votes /13.8%)
Raj (2,838 votes /5.3%)
Amy (2,557 votes /4.8%)
Howard (2,535 votes /4.7%)
Bernadette (1,347 votes /2.5%)
Stuart (635 votes /1.2%)
Maybe we should have some more scenes between the two most popular characters?
Personally I've always wanted a Best Comedy Duo option.
Sheldon & Penny would kick seven types of shite out of that.
Followed by Howard/Raj, then Sheldon/Leonard.
Amy is one of the least popular characters, and the one that the least amount of folk identify with, apparently. So why is the show being sculpted around her and her relentless, self-serving pursuit of Sheldon? And why is Sheldon being broken to fit her "vision" of him? Why must HE change? Who the HELL is she by god! Why sacrifice your greatest and most popular character to suit the whims of a tertiary character?
I presume no-one's going to ask that at Comic-Con...
